Coping With Ghosting
This podcast provides hope, healing, and understanding for anyone who has been ghosted or betrayed. What is ghosting? Imagine sharing a connection with someone: a dating match, significant other, friend, family member, or even a business partner - but one day - they disappear out of thin air. Texts, calls, and emails go unanswered. You know this person is still alive, yet they have vanished from your life and "ghosted" you. This podcast helps people who have been affected by somebody's disappearing act. It explores ghosting, betrayal, relationships, abandonment, grief, self-care, closure, and more. Topics include:
- How to avoid being ghosted
- Ghosting in online dating
- Ghosting and mental health
- Dealing with ghosting in relationships
- Emotional recovery from ghosting
- Overcoming the pain of ghosting
- How to handle being ghosted
- Signs you're about to be ghosted
Gretta Perlmutter, Certified PBT Coach, ghosting expert, and sensitive soul who's been ghosted one too many times, hosts the show.
